There are a myriad of products out there for you to choose from... I've hit them all from time to time, as constipation has been a constant companion with me ever since I started eating healthy... I know you said that you're not constipated, but even so, not going for 4 to 5 days isn't supposed to happen..
The trick is not to use one product or another too consistantly, as you body will become accustomed to it...
We had a thread a long time ago that talked about mineral oil being a good helper.. Then someone recently talked about using magnesium suppliments..
I used the COD's "Nature's Reply" tea and found it really effective, but haven't had as much luck with the Laci Le Beau stuff (but at least it's cheaper!)
Citrecel is a nice alternative to metamucel as it goes down much easier.
Worst comes to worst, I've popped a couple of ex-lax when I really needed to... It works pretty consistantly, but of course, you have to be really careful.
Your COD should have a list of fiber rich foods that are on plan.. But you have to be careful there too.. Too much fiber seems to have an opposite affect than the one you want...
Worst comes to worst, you could always ask your doctor...
